Introducing Sunalei Forest Estate #4, a rare 10.97-acre high-elevation mountain estate within the final release of large-acreage properties at Sunalei. Topping out at approximately 4,140 feet in elevation, this exceptional homesite offers a gentle, highly usable slope for a custom luxury residence with expansive outdoor living. The terrain and acreage create a compelling opportunity for an equestrian estate, with ample room for pasture, barn placement, and thoughtfully designed privacy buffers. Estate #4 features ridgeline and nature views, offering a serene mountain backdrop framed by mature hardwoods and native landscape. The property borders 53 acres of conservation land in Sunalei, with multiple streams running through it. These streams serve as important feeders to the North Fork of the New River"”one of the world's oldest rivers"”adding both natural beauty and ecological significance to the land. As part of Sunalei Forest, owners enjoy the right to build a primary residence of at least 3,000 heated square feet, a guest home, and equestrian rights. Sunalei is a thoughtfully designed, low-density mountain community with fewer than 100 homesites. The community is surrounded by approximately 60 acres of Sunalei HOA-owned land at the summit and nearly 500 acres owned by Elk Knob State Park, preserving the high-elevation ridgelines and protecting the natural setting. Residents have access to High Mountain Camp, a mountaintop lodge gathering space featuring a large kitchen and bar area, billiards, a massive stone fireplace, and an expansive deck with panoramic western mountain views exceeding 100 miles. Sunalei Forest represents the final opportunity to own one of the most secluded and expansive homesites within this extraordinary High Country community"”where authentic mountain living, conservation, and legacy estate ownership converge.
